JLR TEAM FIND A WAY

BINFIELD-based John Lyne and Ian Beavis had mixed results in the Latvian Grand Prix last Sunday.

In the first race the JLR racing team made a slow start in 26th position (out of 30) but soon found a way past the more fancied German team of Marco Happich and Thomas Weinmann, recent runners-up in Germany.

Lyne and Beavis eventually bulldozed their way up to a very respectable 14th.

A frustrating second race saw the pair finish 17th.

Ascot-born Lyne said: "We got ourselves on a good roll first time out, so it was a pain to struggle in the second race when the track conditions had worsened."
